Tell Me a Tale

British singer-songwriter Michael Kiwanuka’s poignant, jazzy “Tell Me A Tale” is an inspiration. For life, for lingerie. “Tell me a tale that always was, Sing me a song that I’ll always be…” Get in the mood to be your true self, in sensuous pieces from Jane’s Vanity that you feel can “turn me around, so that I can be, everything I was meant to be…”

Where to start? With your dreamy self in a lovely gown. Violet & Wren’s new Queen of the Night Maxi Dress is boho and billowy in a navy cotton/silk blend that is patterned with cactus flowers. Or Vannina Vespirini’s Vegetal Gown, ethereal in a floral jacquard mousseline. 

Next, find your beach-girl self in an arty top and favorite jeans. The Vannina Vespirini Intemporel Camisole might do the trick in acqua stretch silk with bright green lace accents. Or try a Klements Mildred Blouse in silk charmeuse print, the Cloud Rainforest or the Chihuahuan Desert.

Be your adventurous self in an animal print. Panthers prowl on Olivia Von Halle’s pale pink Lila Diablo Silk Pajamas. Cadolle’s scarf print will have you seeing spots in the luscious bodysuit or the memorable Porno Chic Shelf Set.    

Kiwanuka wrote “Tell Me A Tale” during a break in recording of his first album on the Isle of Wight in 2011. It spoke, he says, to the idea that “...one thing I can’t do, is pretend to be someone I’m not. I can only be myself. I can’t hide if it's not me.” Find your groove with lingerie from JV that is made with love, that speaks to your inner passions, that frees you to be who you are--on any given day.
